With version 3.1.1c of the software the daily calls happen every 8 days. If your DirecTiVo misses a call then the next call will be on the 16th day. The message is sent after 15 days. We hope DirecTV/TiVo will bump up the error message to 25 days with the next release of the software.

FWIW, I've just begun having trouble with my phone calls, too (HDVR2). I swapped out the phone jack extender base unit with another I had on hand. I also changed access numbers (just in case the default one I was using is glitchy) and changed the "can detect dial tone" setting to "yes.' Was able to make both a test call and a daily call. Guess we'll see if that solution holds....

After 25 days you will get a daily nag screen and when there is new software it will not download it. If it can not make the DirecTV call (a different call) then you will not be able to order pay-per-view with the remote or subscribe to certain sports packages. Other than that it should work fine.

I have been getting the same, "Please Make a Daily Call Soon" error message. Should I force a call if in the System Information screen it says it has made a successful call?

Edited to add: I can make a test call and force a call, so it's not that my receiever is incapable of making a call.
